Carry no burdens upon your back
Release them unto the Lord
Take them to prayer and then leave them there
Seal them with God's precious Word


Carry no burdens upon your back
Present them then turn around
Look not upon them as pillars of salt
Don't let them bear you down.

Instead of the load, blessed be to the one
Who will hold you and lift you up
The one who will cover you 'neath his wings
The one who will carry your cup

Carry no burdens upon your back
Let God lift that heavy weight
His mercy and grace are yours when you ask
Availing His heavenly gate

Your labors are laden and oxen borne
But they belong to the Lord
Take them to prayer take them straight to His throne
Seal them again with His Word
